I have to share another one by Sara Teasdale today.
There will come soft rain and the smell of the ground,
And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;
And frogs in the pools singing at night,
And wild plum trees in tremulous white;
Robins will wear their feathery fire,
Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;
And not one will know of the war, not one
Will care at last when it is done.
Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree,
If mankind perished utterly;
And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn
Would scarcely know that we were gone.
The thing I love about this one is that it reads like a pastoral poem, describing "soft rain" and birds, but it's about the end of humanity. Everyone is dead. The juxtaposition delights me.
This is wonderful. Ack. Such good poetry. And yes, love the juxtaposition. :flails:
